By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge ecommerce checkout customization controls which fields appear, enables Google-powered address auto-complete, manages country selection, and adds an optional notes field. Configure it under Sites → Stores in the checkout editor.

Checkout page customization in Sparkforge controls which fields appear on your store’s checkout, lets you add an optional notes field, manages how country selection behaves, and turns on address auto-complete. The result: a faster checkout that collects only the data you need to fulfill the order.

Why Customize Checkout

Less friction: Show only the fields a buyer must complete to convert.
Better data: Address auto-complete reduces typos and incomplete addresses.
Flexible country handling: Let customers pick a country or restrict checkout to specific countries.
More context: Capture order-specific instructions with the optional Additional Notes field.

How to Customize Checkout

Sign in to your sub-account.
Go to Sites → Stores.
Create a new store or open an existing one.
Open the checkout page editor and select the Checkout element.

Button Actions

Choose what happens after a successful sale: go to a website URL, go to a page, or leave default behavior in place.

Text Actions

Customize the copy across every checkout section—contact details, shipping, billing, payment, and cart summary. Edit headlines, labels, button names, and footer text.

Mandatory, Optional, or Hidden Fields

Control field requirements for phone, address, country, state, city, and zip/postal code. Hiding the country/state field also removes country selection from checkout.

Address Auto-Complete

Google-powered auto-complete returns real-time address suggestions as the customer types and reduces incomplete addresses. Supported fields: address, city, country, state, postal code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t I see Country Selection on checkout?

If Country (or related fields like State or Region) is hidden under Shipping Details, the Country Selection section disappears too. Make sure those fields are visible to surface the option.

Can I limit checkout to specific countries?

Yes. In Checkout settings → Country Selection, choose Ship to specific countries and pick the list of countries you accept orders from.

What happens if I don’t select any countries under "Ship to specific countries"?

If the list is empty, every country is allowed at checkout.

Do live shipping rates require all address fields?

Yes. Carrier APIs and tools like Shippo need a full address—street, city, state, postal code—to return accurate live rates.

Will reducing required fields speed up checkout?

Yes. Fewer mandatory fields lower friction and tend to lift conversion. Keep only the fields fulfillment actually needs.

How do I add processing or additional fees?

Use the Processing Charges and Additional Fees configuration on the store. The customer payments documentation walks through the exact setup.
